Abstract

PRV/LV can be easily measured in the operating room by which we can assess the adequacy of relief of pulmonary stenosis. A number of studies carried out where PRV/LV ratio 0.7 was taken as cut off point however in this study post repair ratio 0.5 was taken as cut off value because a recent study has shown better outcome after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot when the post repair PRV/LV was below .05. When the ratio is above 0.5, some extra precaution may be needed in the post operative period to reduce the morbidity and mortality.
